CILT provides thousands of free resources to celebrate language day

CILT is making available thousands of free resource packs to schools, colleges and community groups looking to celebrate the European Day of Languages on 26 September.

The free starter packs contain posters featuring characters DJ Dialect and the De Linguant Dance Crew which ask ‘How multilingual is your world?’ The idea is to count the languages hidden in the poster, identify which languages they are, and work out what they say. Phrases include ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Schätz’ and ‘Dobrze panie Bobrze’ – Polish for ‘lovely jubbly’! Stickers with ‘hellos’ in over 30 languages are also included, and ideas for activities are posted on-line.
